'''Adam Morgan''' was a [[London]]-based Operations Officer with the [[CIA]], and the husband of fellow agent [[Kate Morgan]].

==History==
[[File:Adam Morgan.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Morgan after committing suicide]]
Before [[Day 9]], Morgan's superior [[Steve Navarro]] colluded with hacker [[Adrian Cross]] to sell state secrets to the [[People's Republic of China|Chinese government]], and planted evidence implicating Morgan in the crime. {{cite|9x07}} Morgan was indicted, despite protesting his innocence, and was placed in protective custody while awaiting trial. Prosecutors intended to try Morgan for [[treason]], with a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. While in custody in [[Langley]], [[Virginia]], Morgan committed [[suicide]] by hanging himself.{{cite|9x10}} The incident was reported in a ''[[Washington Daily Courier]]'' article, which was later posted on the [[Open Cell]] [[Open-Cell.org|website]]. {{cite|web/oc}}

As a result of Morgan's outing, his wife Kate was demoted and ordered to return to the United States. Many of her colleagues, particularly her scheduled replacement [[Erik Ritter]], began to doubt her judgment and competence, as her husband had been committing grave treason without her knowledge. {{cite|9x01}}

During [[Day 9]], [[Jordan Reed]] found partially deleted references to Morgan's case on an agency hard drive partition and began a [[Phoenix Retrieval Program]] to recover it. To hide his duplicity, Navarro dispatched Reed to retrieve a "dead drop" in [[Camden]], then sent a [[James Harman|hitman]] to kill him. {{cite|9x07s}}

Despite this, his name was cleared after Navarro was found to be a traitor and [[Gavin Leonard]] discovered what Jordan had been working on before his murder. The revelation of Navarro's treachery enraged Kate as the two had been friends. {{cite|9x10s}}
